Omya AG's reported carbon emissions

Omya AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), has reported a carbon footprint of approximately 62,000 kg CO2e per tonne of natural ground Calcium Carbonate produced, as of 2014. This figure reflects the emissions associated with their production processes, although specific data on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions has not been disclosed. Currently, Omya AG has not established any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of specified climate commitments indicates that while the company acknowledges its carbon emissions, it has yet to outline a clear strategy for reducing its environmental impact. As the industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Omya AG's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
